George Egg: DIY Chef

George Egg

Finished run

George Egg is a stand-up comedian who cooks food, surprisingly good food, live on stage using unconventional methods and unexpected equipment. He makes you laugh too.

In DIY Chef a health scare sees George banished from the family kitchen, and sent instead to the shed. During an inspiring and inventive evening of stand-up, live cooking and comedy lecture George prepares three plates of food using power tools, office equipment, hair-dressing appliances and gardening implements. And the audience gets to eat it all at the end.

The show is supported by Nisbets, the theatre’s local catering equipment and supplies specialist.
